Woah, the new VeilSide body is awesome. Called the D1-GT or GP. Its not your typical VeilSide look. Im almost tempted to take off my Ings body, sell it, and pick up the new VeilSide.....even the wing. I really like the streetable, yet racey look of it.
Anyone else agree? Also, does anyone know of a quality site that it can be picked up from? Because if I do decide to take of my Ings and sell it (for far cheaper since it has candy orange paint all over it, it would be a good deal for you.
Someone give me some comments.

Its on veilsides web site. http://www.veilside.com/veilsideusa/frames.html

Personally I think its realy ugly, but thats just me. I like the original bumper or the 99 spec.

 

the kit will not be released for another month or 2 in the US...but good luck getting one...the preorder list is almost 50 deep...

 

It's a definate improvement on the last kit...BUT..it aint going on my car

 

its probably going to have that famous veilside curve if you look at it from the side

 

Still butt ugly IMO although it is definitely an improvement over the C-1 and C-2.

 

veilside starting to go towards the drift bodykit styling in this one ive noticed... bodykit tends to pushoutwards at the bottom of the kit... I like it personally

What?? Already 50+ people wanting that kit?? man, how is that possible.. i know people want 99+ spec front end and i tried to sell one for a friend and no one wanted to buy it for like 3.5 weeks... This thing is as much as 99's.. and I think its ugly..

 

different strokes for different folks...a lot of peole don't want a car that looks like it came stock from japan...

 

Very nice!

 

sure.. but if you look at number of people on the forum with FD's.. and how many people have interest in 99 front.. and number of 99 front sold in US.. its just hard for me to believe 50+ people have pre-ordered this Veiside kit (600+ just for the front and almost 2000 for the kit).. knowing this is first time for me seeing it..

But, you are right.. different folks have different taste..

 

Looks ugly to me. That cow catcher on the front of the thing is UGLY!!

 

Ugly just like the other ones as well. Ive only seen one 7 with the veilside kit on it that looks good and its also on a 9 second car so that makes a bit of a difference as well. I too like the 99 spec look as well as the re amemiya n1 wide body kit.

 

different look for the FD

 

not impress here...who designs these ..geezes ..anyone know veilside plz have them call me ..lol

 

Veilside has always been an acquired taste. Seemed like recently they had started doing more conservative designs. However this new kit has some of the original veilside flair and I do like the new GT kit for the FD as well as the rx8.

 

I like the sides, but the rear, front and spoiler make me want to

I mean I guess the front isnt that bad, but your FD would have to be like that 1 inch from the frucking ground to look good due to the low part of the bumper being big like that.

If its normal height, it would look like you have a snow plow, a piece of pizza for a car, or just a plain pooper scooper.

 

So, how many people so far like this damn kit.. 3 out of 8 so far??

But I agree with SpiritR, the damn car need to be almost touching the ground to look OK.. otherwise, its undriveable in the real world.. but thats my 2 cents..

 

that kit does not look good. 99 spec for me thanks!

 

hey u got any pics of ur car with the ings body kit on it

 

I'd like to see how long that low front-end lasts when it starts meeting our American built bumpy roads.

$2000.00 kit + One Little Pot Hole = One Friggen Mad FD Owner!

 

I still can't believe two months ago 50+ people have dropped 2000 on these kits.

Its just amazing!

 

Phil...you make a valid observation...ON THE FORUM there's an obvious demand for 99 spec stuff and an overwhelming hate/distate towards Veilside...

but i guarantee you...99% of these 50+ ppl who ordered the Veilside kit are NOT on the forum...because usually the way it works out (and i stress usually..so as to not generalize and speak for anyone) is that ppl who like j-spec and 99-spec and wut not are enthusiasts who know history and heritage of the FD (or any car for that matter)...and *those* tend to be the ppl on the forum.

and again *usually* the ones who go for Veilside are the kids who's only real experience in the import tuner world has consisted of F&F, black widow civics, and...well...Veilside lol. those, you'll hardly every find on the forum. and when they do, the official rx7 forum welcoming committee scares 'em away before they ever make their 2nd post, because they came on askin how much it would be to drop a veilside kit and chrome spinners on a 4 rotor FD lol

You see...Veilside is the ish if you're in that crowd. and ppl will pay top $$ for it too. Just think about it real quick...in the last decade, how many movies have you seen where C-west or j-spec products were at the forefront? when i try to do that, the only name and visual pic that comes to mind time and time again is...you guessed it...VEILSIDE. (gotta admit, it's a damn good marketing strategy haha)

 

You are absolutely right.. well put!

I'm sending you a PM about something..
